Smoked my first brisket. I'm afraid there's no hope for me.....
Because I'm trying to lose weight and this turned out amazing!
The details:
12lb Prime brisket trimmed and seasoned with kosher salt and pepper with a sprinkling of Lowry's on top. After trim and smoke weighed in at 6lbs (I used the meat trimmings for smash burgers that were also pretty awesome.)
Smoked in a Weber Searwood Pellet grill with cookin' pellets 100% hickory pellets.
Also added a few hickory wood chunks during the first four hours of the smoke to add another layer of smoke.
Started 8pm smoked at 180 for first four hours and then kicked it up to 250. Wrapped at 6 hours into the cook in butcher paper and used some of the rendered tallow in the wrap.
Pulled at 13 hours internal temp ranging from 203 to 199 and then stashed in a temp offset oven at 150. Until dinner at 6pm.
Easily the top item I've ever smoked. Smoke flavor on point, in fact better than any bbq joint that I can remember, tender and juicy. I'll definitely be coming back after my wallet recovers.
